Alders Lake - Thatcham

1800 - 2200

Calm and cloudy to start with clearing skies and dropping temps for the last hour (and a very heavy dew!) AT 17º -> 11ºC (But felt much chillier in the damp conditions...)

1 Bream 5lb 2oz, 1 Tench 1¼lb, 1 Rudd; 11oz (looked bigger!), 1 Roach - hand-sized. 6 Perch all smallish.

Nearly all the excitement in the first 90 mins with the tinca pretty much first cast. The only fish to come after it got dark was the lovely rudd and the roach. Had intended to stay longer but I started catching signals and the cool,damp air was starting to chill my bones (time to dig out those thermal trousers) A complete contrast to the start of the evening!
